Transformers 3D

Despite his previous protestations that 3D may be nothing more than a fad, and unsuitable for his style of film making, rumours are circulating that Michael Bay may in fact shoot the third Transformers movie in the format.

Speaking on 'In The House' a TV series on American cable channel Starz, Bay told the interviewer that :-

“It (3D) is a process we’re testing with some ‘Transformers‘ scenes, how successful it is with my movie in terms of a lot of real stuff coming out of the frame, real dirt, real complicated little particles coming towards the lens, because hopefully that process will work. I’ve seen some tests that look great on other movies. I just want to see how it looks on my footage.”

Whilst some may disagree with the suggestion that there is anything 'real' about the special effect sequences in Bay's movies, the series does seem to be a good candidate for the 3D treatment and Paramount is apparently very keen on making this happen.

Transformers 3 is set for a summer 2011 release with Bay directing and Shia Lebouf, Megan Fox and a lot of bad CGI explosions also returning.
